Looking for a griddle that does not have PTFE type coating to cook pancakes, eggs, sausage etc. for breakfast. Is this the right tool for the job?

Love my cast iron griddle. Good control of heating surface, easy cleanup. Best of all no Teflon or other coatings

This is not Tephlon or PTFE. This is a cast iron cooking unit. Cast iron does require seasoning prior to use. I love my raclette. It is perfect.

Yes, it is. But the cheese dishes are not stainless steel. I do not often use those dishes, so it is fine with me.

Yes, this would work well. It is cast iron without any coating (needs to be seasoned though), and the other side is great for meats and vegies.

I have this raclette. The grill is seasoned cast iron. As such, you have to give it a light coat of vegetable oil every now and then.

I've never made pancakes on it. I've browned butter, made some great fish dishes. I suspect pancakes would be a lot better than on a regular electric top.

No. You definitely want to only use utensils that are safe for nonstick cookware with this griddle.

Works great, if your used to cooking on a griddle. We've done burgers and "chicken on a stick", both we're great. The nonstick surface cleans easily and the well collects any grease/juice. It's fabulous for breakfast...pancakes are so easy. We love it, great addition to your camp stove.

We use the Scanpan Square Griddle for this. I do not think the 9-1/2" pan would be good for cooking four pancakes unless you are going to make them very small. If you are thinking that a fry pan would be best because it would be multi-purpose, then I would go with one of the larger fry pans for making pancakes. Good luck!

Yes, it works fine on gas or electric ranges, but never cook higher than medium or it kills the coating. I usually preheat it 2 minutes before adding pancake batter on it.

Yes they are, not sure about PFOA usage in the waffle maker. I dislike non-stick cookware and stay away from it, this is the only non-stick cooking surface I known. There are cast iron and cast aluminum waffle pans you could try. If your batter is traditional, made with a lot of butter, I would think sticking would not be an issue with these semi-porous pans.

Like any pan, it will be hotter where the heat source is, it does disperse pretty well though. I would recommend the lodge cast iron griddle instead. I have both and the lodge is easily my favorite

I did not see one. I did check consumer reports and they did not have a recommendation either. I just purchased a T-Fal griddle pan to try. Hoping it works well. It states it is ok on glass tops and makes contact across the two burners.

Sorry, no idea. On an off chance, have you tried the temp probe from any other electric appliance? My pancake griddle power probe is almost identical. Or try e-bay or Craigs List?

Leakage is the least of the worries with this griddle. I don't really understand the question, but am answering because I sent this unit back after only a few uses. The non-stick surface is total junk. It is worse than no coating at all. I bought a much cheaper Presto griddle and am completely satisfied.

I just checked and the bottom of the griddle does have magnetic properties. It may not work as well as copper or cast iron, but that should allow the metal to be heated through induction.

Sure, you can use this to make pancakes. The cooking surface will be smaller on this pan vs. a frying pan but if that doesn't matter to you it will be fine. I think you will have to use a decent amount of butter to avoid sticking.

This griddle has no teflon and I use it always on the stove with great results. The food remains tender and cooks very quickly.

Like everyone else, I agree that it is a good tool to have around. I found on amazon a set of two spatula's that would work well. I am traveling, so I can describe only. They are red, thin and not for heavy jobs. I found them when looking for pancake turners. The smaller of the two would work well to turn cookies. The other is huge but works well for my pancakes.

This type of Teflon coated electric griddle is not recommended for most meats, although it is perfect for cooking a pound of bacon at one time. It does not generate the intense heat necessary for browning meat, or to cook thicker cuts to a safe internal temperature. Its best uses are for pancakes, hash browns, eggs, and bacon.
